The Big Apple recently welcomed a new property, Grayson Hotel, at 30 West 39th St., an homage to the city’s turn-of-the-century industrialization and its ensuing cross-cultural culinary awakening. The industrial chic vibe is immediately evident in its two-story steel spiral staircase connecting the street with an indoor-outdoor dining experience on the second floor.

“New York is a city built on grace and grit and we’ve engaged the same principles to create Grayson,” said David McManus, general manager, Grayson Hotel. “Concrete ceilings, iron-railed staircases and detailed millwork are the backdrop for the best in dining, rooftop lounging and a series of collaborations with NYC institutions. Grayson Hotel is all about celebrating what makes New York, New York.”

 

The 296 guestrooms boast artwork curated by Indie Walls that showcase beloved NYC sites, while other décor touches include vintage books and objects. A butler-style minibar offers to-go cocktails, local snacks and beverages. Lather bath and body products in lemongrass offer a unisex scent. Each room features a bronze statue of Grayson, the hotel’s French bulldog mascot. Guests can access nearby 24-hour fitness center GRIT and Oasis Day Spa.
